In this episode of Off-Court Chats, we sit down with William Wallich — the founder of Wallich Padel, one of the most premium and innovative padel racket brands in the world.

Handcrafted in Sweden and made with the same carbon fiber used in hypercars like Koenigsegg, Wallich’s custom rackets are changing how serious players think about their gear.

We dive into:

The origin story of Wallich Padel and how it all started

Why performance, durability, and custom craftsmanship matter more than ever

What goes into building a €1000 racket — and who it’s really for

How gear might shape the future of padel as the sport grows globally

🎧 Whether you're a gearhead, a padel player looking to upgrade, or just love stories of passion turned into product — this one’s for you.
